Princeton University Athletics

The University, through its commitment to amateur athletics, offers a wide range of intercollegiate, club, intramural, and recreational and fitness programs for all levels of interest and ability. Princeton vigorously works for excellence and balance at all levels of play within its varsity athletics programs; the University is committed to equal opportunity for men and women, to wide participation in intercollegiate athletics, and, in these and in all other respects, adheres to the principles that govern the Ivy League. The Princeton University Department of Athletics and Campus Recreation operate under a set of core values that is based on a commitment to providing the best possible undergraduate experience for the student-athletes, competing for league and national championships and never wavering from the belief that athletics are an extension of the overall educational mission of the University. In the Department of Athletics, these values have come to be known as “Education Through Athletics.”
